MAUL SPLITING FACE 8LB 36IN

Ideal for splitting wood (splitting face) or driving wedges and stakes (driving face). Optimized blade geometry offers better penetration and blasts tough logs apart. IsoCore Shock Control System absorbs strike shock and vibration to reduce the punishment your body takes, transferring 2 times less shock and vibration than wood handles. Insulation sleeve captures initial strike shock before it can reach your hand. Dual-layer handle features a specially formulated combination of insulating materials to dampen lingering vibration and a steel reinforcement sleeve to help protect against overstrike damage. Inseparable riveted head will not slide down or snap off, even when swinging with maximum force. Driving face can be struck with another tool during splitting to help force the wedge. Handle flare keeps the tool firmly in hand when swinging. SoftGrip handle features a sculpted profile to fit the natural shape of your hand. Strategic handle texturing features large dimples where fingers rest for maximum grip and small dimples where the palm rests to prevent blisters. Forged, heat treated steel is finished with a rust resistant coating. Tested to exceed ISO and international standards for striking tool durability.
